Yood: Rockin' the Kabbalah

It might be the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet, but YOOD is the new name for great big sound. The band was born in Jerusalem at the start of the millennium and is now known for its massive tight groove and high energy live show

Three guys, originally from New York, have taken their virtuosity to new levels on their debut album "Passin’over," which has the kind of soulful, soaring guitar riffs you feel before you hear.

 

Yood’s intense instrumentation harnesses the power of the thinking, feeling and agile electric guitar, on a burning journey to elevate Rock’s heyday, via Kabbalah and Hasidic influences.

 

Drawing inspiration from Hendrix, Cream and Dylan, this professionally trained classic rock trio performs original music and lyrics along with classic covers.

 

Front man Lazer Lloyd, who has toured extensively with Israeli jam band Reva L’Sheva, and has played with Matisyahu and Danny Sanderson, does his magic with guitars and harmonica.

 

Yaacov Lefcoe (Dr. Jake), whose roots are in hard rock/funk, is master of the ‘monster bass sound’.

 

Moshe (Russian Percussion) Yankovsky charms the drums with his ethnic, fusion sound.

 

Writing for Y-net News, Yoav Friedman said, ‘Yood’s premiere album is one of the new Jewish music’s best. It’s redolent with the scent of the seventies and reminiscent of the days of Cream, Led Zeppelin and Hendrix.’
